Recs if you like Pink Candy Kiss, Vol. 1...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

Are you looking to get into Manga, and you are a lover of sapphic reads? Look no further, because here you will find the perfect yuri volume to pick up! (Yuri is the subgenre of sapphic work in Japanese media.) From romcoms to horror to angst to sci-fi and more, here you can find the first volumes, or complete volumes, of many beloved and underrated yuri mangas! 🩷 If there are any reads missing, let me know and I will add them to the list! Happy reading🤗

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

Shoujo and Josei series everyone should read.

I read so much GL manga on Libby. I thought it might be handy for people to have a list of what I've found. This includes explicit and non-explicit titles, and for series I only put in vol 1. Note that just because it's on Libby doesn't mean any specific library will have it, but you can pick "notify me" to let the library know you are interested, and they may acquire it! This list is only titles that (as far as I know) are from Japan and available in English (does not include manhua or manhwa).

✨Girl kissers, now at a local bookstore near you!✨

This is an all encompassing list of girls love manga that have been translated into English! There's something here for everyone :)

(Also, just because it's on the list doesn't mean it's a 10/10. Proceed at your own risk.)

put!! them!! both!! on!! the!! cover!! we want chemistry, detailing and design!! WUH! LUH! WUH! shakes the publisher some of these are series so check out the rest!

List inspired by @Lady_of_the_Library's club post. Recommendations provided by the PB community! These stories are intended for adult readers (18+) and often feature realistic, mature romantic relationships, complex emotional situations, and sometimes explicit content.

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

every single yuri series i could think about (and find on here) some light novels are included too :) recommendations are welcome!

we’ve all read romance novels that disappoint us, as well as novels that pleasantly surprise us. this is a working list of my personal highly anticipated lesbian books that 100% made me scream, cry, kick my feet, etc exactly as expected. ♡

in shoujo manga/anime, the “crimson rose and candy” archetype historically features romance between a confident, alluring “crimson rose” (often with high-contrast, dramatic or gothic features and aesthetics) and a more feminine, blithe “candy” (often with low-contrast, airy or pink features and aesthetics). while these stories in yuri originated as queer coming-of-age tragedy, i love identifying similar polarity frameworks in my favourite lesbian/sapphic novels alongside its various subversions!

my fave wlw love stories

I primarily am only adding first volumes, but these are all series.

my all-time favourite sapphic fiction with sizzling chemistry, guaranteed to make you feel at least 40% gayer after reading!
